OK, I'm trying to write a few things and I just want to make sure I'm not screwing anything up.
Is there a reason to flood with Mini-T? If you have two breaths going on at the same time.. will it be more powerful?
How do the handicaps work? if I have one pointed to me and it says better.. does that mean that the game will be in favor? What is affected by this? Just power ups and power downs? Since it's pointed in my favor, I am more likely to get power ups while my opponent is to get power downs? Is this correct?
Is there any chance a debug mode in pop-pop? When you're trying to make a rating graphic and have to play forever to get a 7 hole paddle and then try to get a screenshot of it.. unobstructed.. it can be a little annoying This is coincides with my next question..
Are the graphics completely sealed off, bytes hardcoded in the app? Or can they somehow be retrieven? I somehow think that it's the former seeing as you don't want anyone modifying ioni's flowers to be invisible But some of Ambrosia's other games have the graphics available. I personally wasn't able to get to them. Anyone?
When you send bricks to your opponent.. How are they sent? I used to think it worked like this...(list)
Let's say there can be 10 bricks in a column
My opponent's first column has 8 bricks. Their second has 2 bricks.
It should look like this:
| B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E |
Now this board doesn't have a monospaced font.. so bare with me. The B's represent bricks while the E's represent nothingness.
Noting that the above is my opponent's board... Let's say I sent 8 bricks to him.
I used to think that the first 2 bricks of the 8 I sent would fill the bottom 2 E's in the first column. Then the remaining 6 of the 8 I sent would go on the second column.
It would end up looking like this:
| B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | | B | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E | E |
Note that now the first column is completely filled, and the second has 8 instead of 2 bricks in it.
Now is this correct? I noticed that it doesn't go in order like this though. So what I am thinking is that it tries to fill the screen horizontally as much as possible and equalizes it. Does this make any sense?
(/list=a)
If I am confusing the hell out of everyone, please ignore me and spare me the embarassment.. Thanks
BTW I am 97% sure that the UBB will get screwed up.

And why, might I ask, it do that? The UBB seems to be perfectly fine..... Even with andrew hacking the crap out of it... no mercy.

Pfft. Where I come from we use UBB to mean UBB Code. Anyways it did mess up, but I fixed it.

I believe that the second breath will onset immediately after the first breath ends, without pause.

I believe that the "better" player's bricks will fall faster.

Try using the CODE tag, similar to the QUOTE tag.
